Advantages / significant benefits:
-
Solves finishing problems such as “telegraphing” or “joint banding” by equalizing porosity and texture, filling voids left by today's building materials, so that top coats cover more evenly.
-
Applies economically and easily, dries fast for quick re-coat under most circumstances.
-
Low odor, non-offensive to installer and occupant.
-
Minimal outgassing, fights indoor air pollution by sealing in the outgassing from the substrate.
-
Very low VOC content, meets or exceeds all federal and state air quality regulations, including California.
-
Contains no formaldehyde.
Surface preparation:
Surfaces to be coated with Safecoat New Wallboard Primecoat HPV should be sound and cleaned of dirt, grease, mildew and oil. Do not apply over existing wallpaper. Tape joints must be tight and sound. Spray texture must be uniform and adhering properly.
Thinning:
Safecoat® New Wallboard Primecoat is purposefully a thick, viscous product intended to solve specific common finishing problems. It does not require thinning, but if desired for easier application, it may be thinned with no more than 1 gallon water per 5 gallons material. Thinning is not recommended for heavily textured walls, as it will reduce the effectiveness of the product at filling surface voids.
Application:
The surface should be completely dry before application. Stir well, then apply with a brush, roller or airless sprayer. Use a high-quality nylon brush. A quality roller cover with a nap height of 1/4” to 1/2” is recommended. (Note: high pile heights will add additional texture.) Airless sprayers should have a 17/1000 to 21/1000 tip (reversible type is best). Use a painter's mask when spraying. Only a 30 mesh high pressure filter should be used. For full coverage application, overlap preceding application with 1/4 to 1/2 the fan width at a distance of 18” from surface. Always have adequate ventilation. Do not apply on cold, damp days or if surface, container or air temperature is below 55°F. Note: these instructions are intended to be general only and not exhaustive. The applicator should determine which preparation and techniques are best suited to the specific surface.
Coverage:
One gallon of Safecoat® New Wallboard Primecoat HPV covers approximately 300 - 400 square feet in one coat, depending on method of application and surface texture and porosity. One full coat is generally sufficient for most jobs. Product may be tinted for best results under deep accent or transparent colors. See dealer for instructions.
Drying/curing time:
Under normal conditions, Safecoat® New Wallboard Primecoat HPV can be recoated after 4 hours, but for best results wait at least 8 hours before recoating. Normal conditions include a dry surface, access to fresh air flow, moderate humidity, and temperatures above 55°F. Thick application, high humidity or conditions other than normal will cause paint to dry and cure more slowly. Although dry and curing time can be accelerated by moving fresh air over the painted surface, recoating before the time period set forth above is not recommended.
Limitations:
Unlike conventional primers, Safecoat primers are made without formaldehyde preservatives or toxic mildewcides or fungicides. Do not contaminate. Store in airtight containers. Do not use when indoor or surface temperature is below 55°F. Do not freeze.
Health precautions:
As with all coatings, keep container tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not take internally. Always use adequate ventilation. Wear a mask when sanding and avoid breathing sanding dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid breathing of spray vapors and spray mist. If you are chemically sensitive, always test for personal tolerance.
Limited liabilty:
Safecoat® products are guaranteed not to be defective when properly applied. Liability express or implied is limited to replacement of product or refund of purchase price and does not include liability for labor costs or consequential damages. Variable factors out of manufacturer's control, such as environmental conditions, application techniques, and surface conditions are critical to results obtained. Users are expected to exercise reasonable care to determine suitability of the product for each application. This limited warranty may not be modified or extended by manufacturer's representatives, distributors or dealers of AFM products. We particularly recommend that users always test in small inconspicuous areas before application to the entire surface.
